‘DIY SURVIVAL’ (There is no Subculture, only Subversion).
For everybody out there who has not replied yet but think of doing it:
hurry up! the deadline for submission is 7th September 2005
C6 invite submissions for a forthcoming publication on strategies, methods
and techniques of DIY art practices. We are seeking innovative, critical and
radical approaches to diverse art practice and organization focused on how
to produce art unbound by market, commerce, and whitecubes. The aim is to
produce a guide of tactical means for collective art making.
We are looking for a wide range of perspectives, essays, case studies,
artworks and interviews to articulate and promote the idea of self
generative cultural events and the collective production of art.
Contributions from artists, activists, cultural producers, and other related
professionals are welcome.
C6 wish to keep the possible topics vague enough for interpretation, a
starting point may be:
• Ethos, history and politics of DIY art and culture
• Occupation of territories
• Culture jamming, guerrilla art practices
• Strategies of audience engagement
• Tales of endurance, invention and uncompromising passion
• Resistance and the creation of communities
• Question of authorship/ownership in collaborative systems
Keywords: community, digital, tactical, strategic, interactive,
intervention, pervasive, collective, fine art sausage machine.
Deadline for submission is 7th September 2005. Entries, comments and queries
can be sent to [log in to unmask]
The book launch event will be on the 29th of October at the c6 show ‘SOLD
OUT’ in Cremer street Shoreditch London.
We are currently looking at approximately a 60 page book, black and white
with limited graphics, printed in size 6 inches by 9 perfect bound (like a
magazine spine).This edition will be presented at the c6 show ‘SOLD OUT’ in
October.
The book then will go to Print on demand where a prospective buyer will
order the one copy he or she wants. Price of the book online will be its
cost price that stands at a £2.50 plus postage.
The work will be a collection of articles, case studies and how to's about
engaging the public using the strategies that are associated with tactical
art. We are limited to the amount of graphics we can have but will consider
them.
Authors will receive a copy and can also distribute via the web ordering
system that we will set up. This is about disseminating material via a print
medium which we have found to be essential in reaching some people.
Thank you for your interest we look forward to your submission.
